CEDAR CITY, UTAH -- Xavier Sykes, a 5'10 point guard from Colombia, Missouri, has put pen to paper and agreed to join the Thunderbird family. 

Quotes from Head Coach Rob Jeter
"Having a true point guard on our team is so important. A guy that we can trust to always get the most out of each possession and understands where everyone needs to be on the floor. He is a pass-first guy, but he can score with anybody when called upon. He is a good defender and will be a major asset for our team moving forward."
